Possible Stellar-Tera Type!

Pokemon SV - Shiny Rayquaza and Terapagos Anime
In the anime, the Shiny Rayquaza was shown to have the crystalline body of a Terastallized Pokemon with no hat. It was then revealed that the Rayquaza belonged to Lucius who also had Terapagos in his posession, which means that this could be our first Stellar Tera Raid Boss!

Stellar Tera Type Explained

Best 7-Star Rayquaza Tera Raid Counters

Super Ancient Pokemon

Kyogre ImageKyogre Groudon ImageGroudon

In the Mewtwo Raid, Mew was given a special buff when fighting the raid. We could see this make a return with Kyogre and Groudon, calling back to the events back in Pokemon Emerald which released 20 years ago!

Lucius' Pokemon: Six Heroes

Terapagos ImageTerapagos Galarian Moltres ImageGalarian Moltres Lapras ImageLapras
Kleavor ImageKleavor Entei ImageEntei Arboliva ImageArboliva

This Raid Event could be a reference to the anime, where Lucius owned a Black Rayquaza and is currently being sought out by the Rising Voltacklers! We could see the focus go to Lucius' other Pokemon and gain buffs when sent out.

Fairy and Ice-type Pokemon

Magearna ImageMagearna Calyrex (Ice Rider) ImageCalyrex (Ice Rider)

Just like any other raid, the best counters against Rayquaza should be Fairy and Ice-types. Taking advantage with Ice Rider Calyrex's slow speed with Avalanche or Magearna's Soul-Heart could be the key to taking down Rayquaza!

How to Join 7-Star Rayquaza Raid Event

Unlock 6-Star Tera Raids to Participate

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet - 7-Star Tera Raid Battle  World View

Rayquaza normally cannot be found in Paldea, making the 7-Star Event Rayquaza quite the catch, but you have to fight it in a Black Crystal Tera Raid.

These raids are tough, so trainers will have to prepare in advance. It's also recommended to complete the post-game before you participate. Players who are in earlier points of the game can still join via Link Code, but it is highly discouraged since these 7-Star raids will be extremely difficult.

How to Unlock 6-Star Raids and List of Pokemon

Black Tera Raids vs. Normal Tera Raids

Remember that Black Tera Raid symbols on the map do not come in any other color except black. Meanwhile, normal Tera Raid symbols are colored according to the Tera Type of the Pokemon in them.

When you're looking for the Tera Raid with the 7-Star Rayquaza, keep your eyes peeled for a Black Tera Raid symbol on the map with the TBA-type icon.
